PUT HERBS IN ICE CUBE TRAYS AS FOLLOWS
Fresh herbs – I use this one all the time. I LOVE the Springdell herb garden. You pick the herbs from the garden, chop them up and put them in the cubes. Add oil and freeze. Remove the cubes and put them in a ziplock. Don’t forget to label them with what herb they are. I also like to do herb combos that I know I use together a lot for pasta sauces etc.
Simple syrup – I make a simple syrup out of equal parts sugar and water. Heat until the sugar has dissolved. You can freeze as is and just pop a cube into a beverage or you can steep the simple syrup with herbs or flavors too. I love to use mint from Springdell and let that steep. I let it sit in there until the syrup is cool, strain out the mint, freeze and I have cubes to use in my iced tea. Delicious.

Not even kidding, these are so delicious and super easy in the crockpot. Great with fingerlings, yukon golds or new potatoes. (Recipe option is to use granulated onion or you can dice some fresh onion, or try with your own herb and spice combo).
